I love baby poults..the cutest ever..well, let's see, baby ducks too..and um, chicks. But, those baby poults make the cutest sounds, and, when I hatched a few, they kept tipping over because of their big bellies, and I would have to go in and help them right side up when I heard them screaming help. Too cute.

I think I really lucked out on the BR turkeys. Sweet birds, even the young males. I know my children, and company are safe around them.

I'm hearing a 2 week poult holler , the calling "whos around" . Need to see if it jumped into the next brooder, the cuckoo marans and OE.

1 poult hatched, 1 zipping, 2 pipped!

I am at day 28so I'm a bit worried. May not get all 13 to hatch this go round.
 
OKay...I can't believe we are so close to the weekend already...let the final countdown begin...these few weeks went by fast for me. I will candle again one more time tonight, but as of today I have 7/8 still in the 'bator. One is very iffy and more than likely was a quitter at about day 10. I will know for sure tonight and will pitch or keep it. So that will leave me with 6/8 going to lock down. These are shipped Cream Legbar eggs.

Boy, can time fly!! I haven't made time to candle as much as I usually do. While turning eggs today I found one Blue Am/EE pipped!!! OOPPPSS! Sorted thru the eggs and moved them to the hatcher!!

Always something to learn! Note to self: Keep up with notes! LOL
 
Go duckies go!!!!


I LOVEEEEEE BABY DUCKS!!!!

5 have hatched so far!
the egg in back (standing on end) had the air cell at the small end... so I incubated it small end up since the air cell wouldn't migrate.. he's internally pipped (at the small end) and I made a large hole to keep an eye on his progress.. he may end up needing help since the air cell was at the wrong end of the egg when it was laid.

Sooo cute! Congrats! I just think the ducks faces have so much more personality!
